Re: Stuart's occasional loco thread - Boot Lane Works 'Lilibet'
Thanks all I suspect that 4xAAA may be too high a voltage, going from initial testing across the carpet! I hope to take it to an open day at the end of the month, where I can test it properly on an actual railway (I live in an apartment). Interested to see what you come up with for the cab. :scratch...

Re: Stuart's occasional loco thread - Boot Lane Works 'Lilibet'

The buffers are the Cambrian ModelRail 'modern' Talyllyn buffers backdated with some plywood disc...

Thanks. Tempting, but I think the money would be better spent on a house with a suitable garden first!ge_rik wrote: ↑Fri Jun 28, 2024 7:36 am It's an AEE Lyfe. A sort of GoPro rip off. Mine's around 5 years old so old tech

Re: Peckforton Light Railway - Video Library
I like the viewpoint looking along the train, rather than the usual front or rear view.
Can I ask what the camera is please?

Re: Stuart's occasional loco thread - Boot Lane Works 'Lilibet'
So, pretty much done apart from a few details. I have plans for an alternate set of buffer beams with side buffers, and also a cab that wlll slot into the rear bufferbeams instead of the rail. The handbrake and reversing lever will stay unfixed until I have thought this through a bit more. I have ma...

Re: Another Faller Railbus
I've always liked these. I have an ETrain one that i started to repaint years ago that really needs stripping back and starting again.
The green works very well on yours.

Re: Stuart's occasional loco thread - Boot Lane Works 'Lilibet'
Thanks guys.
Forgot to say that I have wrapped the smokebox (front and top), tank top, firebox wrapper and cab sides in thin styrene to avoid spending weeks sanding the 3D prints.

Thansk Phil. It will be plain green as per the cylinders, although it is very tempting to paint it black and put CAMBRIAN on the tank sides!
